The next day, Geoff and I went to Pines Advertising together. We arrived at the office early and as I expected, all eyes were on us. Initially, I planned to resign from the company but I realized it is not good for me to leave the company while we are on an important project so I would ask Mr. Smith for an indefinite leave and would promised him that I will be available when I am needed. It would also be difficult to explain that I am pregnant to everyone when they never knew that I got married so we decided to announce our wedding in the company. For me, I don't mind not telling others about my me and Geoff since I don't really care about what other people say and think about me but I will have my baby soon, I don't want other people to gossip about my baby even he or she is not yet born.
Mr. Smith was pleased to see Geoff in his office. He was at first hesitant to accept my letter for taking a leave but when Geoff explained to him that I would be willing to help whenever I am needed, he finally accepted it. He was surprised to know about our relationship and was very happy to find out that I am pregnant. We left the office immediately after meeting Mr. Smith. I wanted to talk to Annie but she was was currently having a meeting with her team so I just decided to call her later.
As I was not feeling well again, I and Geoff decided to go home directly. He decided not to go to his office in the morning to accompany me. When we arrived home, Regina was waiting for us in the main door.
"I heard the news dear, I'm so happy for you." Regina said smiling from ear to ear. I can't distinguish whther she is sincere with what she said or not.
"Thank you." I said humbly. Geoff remained silent.
"What's your plan now? Are you still going to work?" She asked.
"Uhm, Geoff and I decided for me to take a rest for a while. I will be going back to work when I'm ready." I answered.
"That's good. Maybe I can teach you how to cook sometimes so you won't feel bored in here." Regina
"That would be possible."
"I'm sorry by the way about how Erica did last time. I tried to stop her but she was too strong for me. I will make sure that it won't happen again, don't worry." Regina
"It was not your fault so you don't need to apologize." I said. Geoff was just standing beside me, he never joined the conversation. He looks irritated.
"Anyway, you can take a rest now. I will prepare lunch for all of us. I will call you once it's ready." Regina
We went to our room after talking to Regina. She was very nice to me recently which makes me scared. I don't know what she is thinking and I know she still likes Erica more than me. I'm scared that she and Erica are planning something against me.
Before lunchtime, Geoff received a call from someone. He said he has to go to work for an urgent matter. He promised to come back before dinner time but I'm not expecting anything. I know how workaholic he is and it makes him stressed when he can't finish what he has to do.
I asked Nancy to bring lunch in the room since I am nauseated and I also don't want to talk to Regina while having lunch. I don't have any plans to go out from my room while Geoff is out.
While Nancy was getting food downstairs, someone knocked on the door. I was lazy to get up and open it so I shouted for that person to come in. I was shocked to see that it is Erica. She came inside the room with a basket of fruits in her hand.
"Geoff told me you're pregnant so he asked me to bring you this." She then placed the basket of fruits on the coffee table.
"What do you need? My husband is not here." I asked. I don't feel comfortable with her being around.
"He already talked to my dad and he would still support my father's company." Erica said coldly. I don't understand why she has to say this to me. Actually, Geoff and I never talk about his business and the companies he deals with.
"He said I should be nice to you since you are carrying his child, something that I couldn't give him when we were still married. Anyway, he will leave you after you give birth. He just married you hoping that he can have a child with you. Now that your pregnant, your days staying here are numbered." She continued.
I ignored what she said. From how she behaved in the past, I'm certain I shouldn't trust her anymore.
"I know it sounds impossible for you but I really care about you. I know Geoff more than anyone in here. We've been a couple for 4 years before we got married. We met in Australia and I decided to come back in this city because of him. I saw many women he has met while we were together until I became numb with what I see and hear about him." She continued. "I know he told you about I cheated on him but do you think I will do that if I was satisfied with him as a husband?"
"You can start asking people here about his relationships and you will understand me. I'm not as bad as you think. I'm just a woman who is crazily in love with him." After saying than, she left.
I promised Geoff that I won't believe anyone except him so I won't let what Erica said ruin my day. Also, I don't want to imagine myself being in the same situation like what I had with Lance. Speaking of Lance, he didn't contact me since I got married. Maybe, he is finally back on his feet.
After eating, I took a nap to make me feel relax.
I got up at almost 6 pm. I checked my phone immediately. Geoff didn't send me a message. I feel hungry now so I decided to ask Nancy to accompany me in the nearest fast food restaurant. I'm craving for burger and fries.
On the way to the restaurant, I called Geoff but no one answered. He said he would eat dinner at home but I wasn't expecting it since I know he would be very busy. When we arrived in the restaurant, I felt dizzy again so I asked Nancy to order burger for the three of us including the driver to take home. I keep trying to call Geoff but no one is answering, not even a message. I'm not the type of person who doubts someone easily without any evidence but I think it is normal for a husband who has a pregnant wife to check on her from time to time. Am I too demanding to think about that? What if Erica is telling the truth?
From now on, I will try to investigate. I have to ask people who know Geoff. I need to make friends with the maids at home so I can get information about Geoff and his past relationships. I trust my husband, but I think there are still many things that I don't about him and that's what I will work out in the next days.
Before coming home, I got a message from an unregistered phone number.
"This is Erica. You've been calling Geoff, right? He can't answer because he is with me."
